Northern Colorado Rain FC

What Northern Colorado Rain FC does

Northern Colorado Rain FC is a privately held women's soccer club based in Windsor, Colorado, operating from the Future Legends Complex (home venue: TicketSocket Park) and owned by NoCo Pro Sports. Founded in 2023, the club began competitive play in the USL W League in 2024 (8-3-1, 2nd in Mountain Division, #14 nationally) and moved to the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) in 2025, where it won the Rockies Division championship with a +36 goal differential. The club has signed a Letter of Intent to join WPSL PRO for 2026, representing its first venture into professional women's soccer.

The club's product surface is anchored by two offerings: (1) the senior women's team, which recruits college-age athletes for summer league competition and generates revenue through ticket sales at TicketSocket Park, league-level sponsorship/broadcast participation, and brand-building within the USL network; and (2) the RAIN & HAILSTORM Player Development Program (PDP), a subscription-based supplemental youth training platform priced at $88/month with a $60 first-month trial, operating biweekly at the Future Legends Complex North field. The underlying operating technology is SportsEngine's Sports Relationship Management (SRM) software for website and club operations — standard off-the-shelf infrastructure rather than proprietary tech.

Commercially, Rain FC uses an event-driven GTM anchored in league competition, supplemented by community engagement (school and business visits), organic social (Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube), and USL network affiliation for brand credibility. The leadership group includes Head Coach Kelly Brown (2025 WPSL Rockies Coach of the Year), Assistant Coach and Head of Soccer Lisa-Marie Woods (18-year pro, former Norwegian international, UEFA A License), and assistant coaches with collegiate backgrounds (Regis, CU Boulder, Creighton). Distribution is regional across Northern Colorado and the broader Mountain Region, with no disclosed enterprise customers, institutional funding, or material sponsorship concentration.
